Don't think it's arrogant at all - if you saw somebody reading a p-book and constantly referring to a dictionary, what would you think?

And your assumption that I just ignore words I don't know the meaning of is arrogant!

Constantly? If there is 3 words in a book you want to look up you will not bring a paper dictionary to read but if you have an electronic dictionary you will use it instead of just guessing what the words mean.

Actually, I probably wouldn't be paying that much attention to someone else's dictionary habits because I have my own world going on. There are things I notice but someone's dictionary usage would be low on my awareness meter.

I'd say that if dictionary look up is that important to you then you should probably be heading back to school.

Seriously, if you really enjoy reading enough to consider shelling out serious money on a dedicated reading device then I would expect you would have read enough to not be stumped by words often enough to justify needing a dictionary by your side.

Keep in mind that English isn't the native language for all e-reader users. In my experience, reading books is one of the more pleasant ways of learning a new language. I'd love to have a reader in which I could substitute German-English, French-English, or Spanish-English dictionaries to improve my knowledge of those languages.

The issue of language-language dictionaries is an entirely different issue. my apologies for being so English-centric!
